South Carolina’s ports system is vital to our economic future. And today, we face an issue with our neighbor, Georgia, on the deepening of our shared border – the Savannah River.
Our ports are indispensable to our economy, facilitating nearly $46 billion in economic output and supporting 260,000 jobs across the state. While competition serves the marketplace well, no business owner would ever voluntarily give a competitor an unfair advantage. We must do all we can to protect the interests of our state and put our ports first.
